dangit, can't find a picture decent enough to get through the censors on the school yet funny enough to post!

You're slipping Billy!

Kendra is funny a lot of the time Billybob. Granted, not 100%, but who is?

Ulrika is funny every now and then, though it's rare.



I thought her thread on becoming a resmod was hysterical! :D

I am a furry BDSM D/s pagan druid conservative. Don't even try to figure that one out. I'm even confused.



I'm a Christian BDSM D/S Conservative. Boy does that ever shock them at the Gay MAsT meetings! :D

I would argue that if the vast majority of USA citizens examined their beliefs honestly they would find thay are also liberals.

We live in a liberal country. The radical fringe are the fuckers in the White House and their 30% of a moronic base.


Couldn't have said it better myself :)

You're forgetting the 52% of voters who voted for the ones in office, the same ones that have kept the Republicans in control of Congress since the Clinton Experiment. There's a lot of red on the map that would disagree with your assumption.

I do believe you're right.

The surveys that have come out lately trying to equate religion with conservatism are pretty misleading, because some portion of churchgoing people are going to be connected with religious views that put more emphasis on charity and social action, than on prudery.

I have a prediction, which seems impossible now but I believe it shall come to pass.

I think in twenty years the Republican states in the Intermountain West will have noticeably started to switch either to a centrist Democratic Party or to a new center-libertarian party. This means the hard right will lose control of the Senate forever. If the Republicans want to keep the West, they have to move away from fundagelicals and toward the Goldwater tradition.

The Westerners exerting their newfound voice will be backed up by libertarian Republican states, such as New Hampshire, and by states whose party machines will have lost their ability to disenfranchise non-whites, including Texas.

Being churchgoing does not make you a core, eternal part of the hard Right if you're also a Catholic or a Mormon. There are solid socialist traditions in both which are likely to get stronger as both groups become increasingly Latino.

The remaining white Mormons in the rural West are likely to become ever more libertarian and internationally focused as the North American energy sector increases in power.

I give all this twenty years tops.

That is an assertion based on personal value judgement. Not fact.

Fact? & Opinion? Pfft! Don't let logic get in the way of a good bit of forum fun I say! ;)

I'm pretty liberal.
I read books. (lib-eral) hehe bad bad bad stretched to get pun :o

I'm kinda whacky, I am pretty fond of the Bill of Rights kinda stuffs, and allowing for opinions, differences and interaction w/out hate, bile and maliciousness.

I'm also a semi-cynical optimist. I know that seems contradictory but it seems to fit my odd lil mind.

At the root of it all, I really enjoy seeing all the diverse ways folks can be, one of the beauties of SL in particular (forum and grid), the free to be you and me kinda thingie about it all. (and yes Marlo there's other uses for that title)

Cheese AND pie, I say!
:p

Right, because everyone knows if the state is red on the map there are no liberals in it. :p

Gay furry Christian conservative. We need to start a group... "Political Paradoxes" or something. We can talk about politics, religion, and general things with the most off-the-wall perspectives known to man. :D
